APULEIUS, Lucius (fl. c. A.D. 155 ). L'amour de Cupido et de Psiche, mère de volupté ... exposée tant en vers Italiens, que Françoys. Paris: Jean de Marnef pour Denis Janot, 15 September 1546. 2 parts in one volume, small 8° (124 x 77mm). Both parts with woodcut title border incorporating Janot’s thistle and motto. 32 woodcuts enclosed within 16 different borders, with Italian text below and French text on facing page, further woodcut ornaments on end leaves to part one and colophon. (Some light stains.) 18th-century mottled calf, gilt triple fillets, gilt spine with repeated thistle and longitudinal label (lightly rubbed, a few wormholes in spine). Provenance : Edouard Rahir (morocco label). THE RAHIR COPY OF THESE HIGHLY REGARDED WOODBLOCKS TO APULEIUS. As Mortimer notes, the Cupid and Psyche illustrations are ‘based on Italian engravings prepared by Agostino Veneziano and the “Maestro del Dado” of the school of Marc Antonio Raimondi, working from a series formerly attributed to Raphael but now assigned to Michiel Coxie’. The question of who was responsible for the excellent Janot blocks has been much debated, but they are most probably by either Jean Cousin or Bernard Salomon There may in fact have been two editions of the cuts in 1546; variations in this copy conform with those mentioned in the Hofer copy. The blocks then recur in a 1557 edition printed by Étienne Groulleau. The shorter second poem, Jean Maugin’s ‘Le plaint du vaincu d'amour’, is not illustrated. Cat. Rahir 1215; Mortimer/Harvard French 33.
